At least two people have been injured in connection with a fire in a barn in Åsele, Västerbotten.

Two ambulances have been loaded, but I don't know more than that, says Mikaela Warhed, team leader at SOS Alarm.

According to SVT Västerbotten, one of the persons has been taken to Lycksele hospital by ambulance helicopter.

It's about a barn used as a workshop garage, and the fire is fully developed. We're working on the site right now to prevent the fire from spreading, says Anna Jonsson, control centre operator at the rescue service, to TT.

The alarm about the fire came in at 13.34 on Saturday.
